My worst AV was particularly special. It began with a PLD in full AF1 gear who refused to use flash more than once. Respectfully, members of our party tried our best to give tips. She acted thankful, going on to say how other pugs treated her like shit and that everyone is so mean.
But then she didn't follow any of our advice, at all. She continued to pull way too much, refuse to use flash most of the time, and generally fail to keep mobs off of the healer. I don't remember if the PLD used Shield Oath either, but I do remember that I had to spam Physick as a BLM to supplement the healer's heals as otherwise the healer couldn't keep up.
I also remember the healer getting mad at us DPS for dying on the first boss. Because he refused to heal anyone but herself and sometimes the tank. We kept our stacks below 2, but the damage that's done up until we use morbol fruit isn't going anywhere. It was still early on in the dungeon, so I hadn't thought to use Physick yet.
Anyway, so we died, and he refused to raise us. So we ended up waiting for the PLD and (I think it was a scholar) kill the first boss. This was before the whole Vitality = Damage for tanks, so this paladin did just about as little damage as you could imagine.
The dungeon went on like that, wiping continually on mobs. We managed to get past the coincounter, but on the way to the last boss we ran out of dungeon time.
